Cabrera kocks in two runs in the first inning.
Dashing through the snow squall early Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park was Miguel Cabrera, the large, veteran Tigers’ slugger not known for foot speed.
Sailing through the frigid wind was the ball pitched by Cleveland ace Shane Bieber, the defending Cy Young award winner.
After brushing back Cabrera up-and-in at 92 miles per hour, Bieber cranked it up to 93.
His pitch moved up and away, but not enough. Cabrera took him deep to the opposite field with one man on and two out in the bottom of the scoreless first inning on Opening Day in The D.
